Reminder: Transit of Venus (between the Earth and Sun) is about to begin. Will go on from about now 'till sunset in USA. Won't happen again for 105 years!

DON'T look at the sun with bare eyes or sunglasses. Use proper protection (#14 welders glass, or special stuff designed for watching eclipses), or see here NASA EDGE @ Mauna Kea, Hawaii: Live Webcast Streams

Can also project through binoculars onto paper (NOT EYES). Best if paper is in shade, but binoculars are looking at the sun. (like standing in the shade at the edge of shadow of roof). Google for more info.

Hi all, I turn vet on 6/14/12. I spend most of my time in Darwinia, and also spend some time answering n00b questions. No avatar party needed, wouldn't know what to suggest anyway. Thanks to all on ECF and #ecf for the help. Once I got my juices and devices sorted out, not-smoking was almost easy!

Hi Nanovapr.

Glad that you stopped by. If you change your mind and want to celebrate, we'd love to celebrate with you. Early congrats on becoming a vet!
